Between the Striped and Ivanpah mountains, in the Mojave National Preserve, lies a valley rich in history. The first non native visitors were the Spanish who left messages in secret code carved into the rocks. After WWI, many wounded soldiers fled to this isolated region, seeking greater health. Riley built is cabin here and began extensive mining operations. He was joined by many other ranchers and fellow gold seekers. Riley died in 1984 but a small community lived and worked the land until the formation of the Preserve in 1991. At this time the remaining population was forced to leave. 5 miles north, at Kokoweef, a similar community found a loophole and legally retained their land. Today, they seek for a long lost "river of gold". But that's another story.
